About SB News: Our Newsroom and Scoreboard

SB News is the American sports brief: an independent newsroom and live scoreboard for fans who want the story and the score in the same place. We cover the leagues that fill the American sports calendar, from the first NFL kickoff in September to the last out of the World Series.

What we cover

NFL: injury reports, trades, power rankings and the playoff picture, plus live scores on the NFL hub.
NBA and WNBA: trade talk, award races, standings and every night's slate.
MLB: pennant races, pitching matchups, the postseason and the hot stove.
NHL: goalie news, the wild-card race and the road to the Stanley Cup.
College football and college basketball: rankings, rivalries, the playoff and March Madness.
UFC and MMA, MLS, golf and Formula 1 when the big nights arrive.

How the site works

The news desk files every story under its sport, so each league has its own stream of headlines.
The explainers answer the questions behind the headlines: playoff formats, tiebreakers, scoring rules and how to read a box score.
Live scores refresh on their own while a page is open, and the daily scoreboard shows every game with start times in your time zone.
League hubs connect the news to standings, box scores, rosters, injury reports and team pages.

Who writes it

Stories are published under the SB News Desk byline. The desk compiles reporting from official league and team announcements and established news outlets, and lists its key sources at the end of a story. Some stories are drafted with the help of automated tools. Read our editorial standards for the details, including how we correct mistakes.

Independent by design

SB News is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, the NCAA, the UFC, Formula 1 or any team. League and team names and logos belong to their owners and appear only to identify the games and teams we report on.
